Now, because my ability to string together coherent thoughts is still compromised - as evidenced by the oh-so-jazzy, let's-capture-the-audience's-attention' post title (uh huh, real snazzy! Not!) - I'll keep this short. My simple title, however, speaks the truth. More butterflies from me: surprise! A number of challenges inviting butterflies: Yayyy! How can I resist!
As is obvious with my cards of late, and as I've confessed repeatedly, yours truly is butterfly obsessed, and I completely understand if you're bored with my 'common theme.' If not, thank you for sticking around to view today's duo. I'm 'trying' to make each one different...'trying' being the operative word here.
Okay, both are going to the new and delightful TIME OUT challenge #2, with this fabulous bedroom photo
as well as to 'older' and delightful The Card Concept #7, where I think they fall into the 'clean and simple' or perhaps 'clean and layered' categories.
My first card is also going to CASE Study #185, where soft grey and pops of red are featured (isn't this card stunning!).
Here's my take:
My second, entered into CAS(E) this Sketch #71,
is this little number:
Okay, enough butterflies for a day or two...
Thank you so much for dropping by; your visit and comments make my day!

ReplyDeleteAdore that first card with the stamped mesh!! Great second card with the flurry of butterflies! You covered the challenges well :)
ReplyDeleteI love all the texture from the stitching and zig zag cut tag on the first, and all the different colors of the butterflies on the second.
ReplyDeleteHow in the world would I ever choose which one of your two cards I like the most...I won't really choose, but I really am loving the first card with the graphic feel and the second is such a cheerful and happy card...love what you have done with both!
